Thanks to all those who reviewed my story! You all rock!
Now, someone asked me how could Zatch worry about Rick reading the book, right? Well, the book of a Mamodo chooses its own reader, but no one said that the book could choose MULTIPLE readers. Am I right?
Anway, Zatch Bell characters are owned by Tsutsuji Nakamura. Rick is the only character I own, so don't think he'll ACTUALLY appear in a Zatch Bell episode. (I said this before, but I need to copyright so new readers get used to the fic.)
Chapter 2: MULTIPLE ZAKERUS!
Meanwhile, in Rick's new house, Rick was finish watching One Piece on TV and went up to his room. He was glad to meet such nice friends (Zatch and Kiyo) on the first day he came out of the house since he moved. Sometimes, he wished that he were still back there, since he forgot to ask them their AIM account or something. Although he knew that he'd see them in school or something.
He picked up his red book and opened to read where he left off from his favorite manga, Dr. Slump. To his surprise, the contents to the book were not hundreds of pages filled to the cover with action-packed comedy manga, but it was instead a bunch of weird symbols on the cover. "What the heck?" Rick pondered as he turned to the first page. For some odd reason, he could only read the red words. 'This must be Kiyo's. I'll return it Monday when I see him,' he thought as he slowly read the red words.
Back to the other heroes, Kiyo and Zatch searched the nearly the whole block to see if they could find Rick or not. "Kiyo, what if he really reads the book and makes me blow up stuff?" Kiyo turns to Zatch smiling, saying, "Don't worry Zatch. Even if he could've gotten our book by accident, there's no way he could read it. "Ok," Zatch responses as he stares at Kiyo.
Meanwhile, Rick sat down and tired his best to read the blue words, but it was all inevitable. "Oh well," he tells himself and points his finger to the red words and read out, "ZAKERU!" as the book glows red and Rick drops it in surprise. Meanwhile, back with Kiyo and Zatch, Zatch's eyes suddenly goes backwards and he shots Kiyo by accident into the air, shocked with tons of lightning. When Kiyo falls to the ground, he twitches and then gets up, saying, "What in the world was that!" Zatch finally regained consciousness and tells him, "See! I told you something like that would happen!"
Rick picked it up and wondered, "What happened?" He turns the page back and read the same 'Zakeru' again, which the book glows for a couple of minutes then suddenly stops. He continued to repeat this process for a half an hour until he got bored and placed the book in his backpack and ran downstairs for dinner. Back at the place Kiyo and Zatch was, every time Rick said the spell, Zatch shot lightning at Kiyo and shocked him or missed and shocked something else.
One time, the lightning missed and went strait into the city, thus launching into the street and shocking the bully at Kiyo's class.
One time, it missed and a random civilian complained, "Man! My MP3 Player is out of energy. Now what am I supposed to do?" The lightning then goes into the MP3 Player, shocking the guy as well. It then gained full batteries, which also shocked the guy. He then said, "Sweet! Free Batteries!" as he continued to listen to his music.
All the time, Zatch was sending lightning everywhere hitting anything he was starring at. Half an hour later, Zatch finally stopped shooting lightning and the two continued their search. 'What's going on?' Kiyo thought as he was walking with Zatch. 'No one but me should be able to read Zatch's book.' He remembered when that guy who commanded Rekom tried to command Zatch; he failed and was hurt instead. How then, could someone like Rick, could command what Zatch could do.
"I think we'd better spilt up, Zatch," Kiyo tells the blond Mamodo. "We'll cover more ground if we search that way." Zatch nodded his head and the two then split in a street as they continued to search for Rick, before someone with a mamodo could not only harm Zatch's book, but their new carrot-toped friend as well.
